From Transformers Wiki
ASeedis a device made by theCreatorsand contains elementalTransformiumthat is the primal material ofTransformers.It functions by being primed, then detonating, turning all organic matter around it into molten metal. Despite being on the small side, to the extent a human can carry one about with little difficulty, their small size belies their power.

Age of Extinctionfilm
Around sixty-five million years ago, the Creators used the Seeds as partcyberforminginitiative on thousands of worlds, to create Transformium, with the material being used to construct Transformers. On Earth, this led to the extinction of theDinosaurs.However, for whatever reason the Creators didn't take all the samples, and some Transformium remained present on Earth. Eventually human scientists discovered it but were unaware of its true nature. This changed following the encounter with the Transformers where the scientific applications were uncovered. After the Battle of Chicago,Kinetic Solutions Incorporatedwas forced to mine Transformium either from the deposits on their world or from dead Transformers. This saw Darcy Tyril being dispatched to find new deposits for KSI who sought to find new sources of the material. At the time,Harold Attingerof the CIA allied with the Cybertronian bounty hunterLockdownhunting downAutobotsin search ofOptimus Primeto return to the Creators. In exchange for the CIA's assistance in capturing Prime, Lockdown would give them a Seed which would then be given to KSI for deployment in the Mongolian desert, where they would mine the Transformium for a century. Unbeknownst to them, the rebornMegatronintended to take the Seed to forge a new army ofDecepticons,and get revenge on humanity at the same time by using it in a fully-populated city. Ultimately, the Autobots managed to stop the Decepticon plot, and afterwardOptimustook the Seed into space to hide it to prevent its power from being abused for evil.Age of Extinction

InTyran 609.23-PX Kappa,Lockdown arrived on a Decepticon-controlled Earth to demand that Optimus Prime be handed over to him. When both Megatron andSentinel Primerefused, Lockdown offered Sentinel aprotomatterseed in exchange for Optimus. While Sentinel was sorely tempted by the deal, Optimus used the opportunity to reignite Sentinel's cold spark. Sentinel proceeded to pretend to hand over Optimus, ambush and defeat Lockdown, and capture Lockdown's ship. Allying themselves with the Dinobots, Sentinel and Optimus waged a long guerrilla war against the Decepticons, eventually restoring freedom to Earth and revitalizing Cybertron with the seed.Ask Vector Prime, 2015/07/22
